Frank Long Letter to Roy Squires.

It's seeming obvious with each cycle of auctions that much of the Roy Squires archive descended to Terence McVicker at some point. Through this some very late information can be seen about the "Lovecraft Group" and their eventual passing. Here is a rare prize from Frank Long.

Epegana states:

LETTER FROM:FRANK BELKNAP LONG TO ROY A. SQUIRES
Frank Belknap Long was not only a fine writer in the old Weird Tales tradition, but one of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's greatest friends. In later years he sold his Lovecraft letters and his entire collection to just try to make ends meet. Roy A. Squires printed his "Marriage of Sir John de Maundeville" not only because he liked the poem, but it would throw FBL a few much needed bucks. Squires also paid Long to sign numerous books. As suggested in the letter Long was under enormous financial pressure ... Signed in ball-point "Frank".
